In a way in which what happens in your brain is not
"If what happens in your experience is inside your mind in a way in which what happens in your brain is not, it looks as though your experiences and other mental states can't just be physical states of your brain"
[What does it all mean - Nagel]
I find the bold sentence very difficult to understand. Could you help me out? Thanks!

0Is my rewrite correct!?
"If your perceptions are experienced within consciousness, and not the way the processes in your brain are going on, then it seems that perceptions and other mental states can not be just physical states of your brain"
Does it have the same meaning as those original sentences?
Thanks!
